In honor of the upcoming holiday, I give you. . . Corned Beef and Cabbage.

Corned Beef is traditional Irish/St. Patrick’s day dish.
This is what wikipedia has to say:

“Corned beef (also ‘bully beef’ in the UK) is a cut of beef (usually brisket, but sometimes round or silverside) cured or pickled in a seasoned brine. The “corn” in “corned beef” refers to the “corn” or grains of coarse salts used to cure it. The Oxford English Dictionary dates the usage of “corn,” meaning “small hard particle, a grain, as of sand or salt,” to 888, and the term “corned beef” to 1621.^[1] The term “corned beef” can denote different styles of brine-cured beef, depending on the region. Some, like American-style corned beef, are highly seasoned and often considered delicatessen fare.”

And here’s the recipe:

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Corned Beef Brisket (I used the point cut, because it was smaller. A flat cut is also available)
Cabbage
Red Potatoes, halved
Carrots
Water
The Corned beef should come with its own seasoning packet. Put the brisket and the seasoning in a crock pot. Cover with water.

Add the potatoes and carrots.

Cook for 2-3 hours, depending on the size of your meat.

Quarter the head of cabbage and add it to the crock pot. Cook an additional 45 mins.

Eat Up!
